If it says on the voucher that it cannot be resold it would be unethical to promote that practice and it would set Greg up as being perceived unethical. I don’t think any ski area would want to advertise with someone promoting an illegal policy that is contrary to their best business interest.

Here's the fine print on some vouchers I have at the ready. There ARE options: read carefully.

There were a bunch on Craigslist this year. Most resorts check your id too though some more scrutinously than others.

I knew that was coming. That's why I added "or can't get out"

Nice SAT word.


Ok...I've put some thought into this situation I agree 100% with deadheadskier and would like to add my .02.

Complaining over and over again is not going to change the situation. These are the rules of the site and we agree to follow the rules as a conditions of our membership. When the ban of political threads came about I voiced my opposition once, accepted Greg's decision and followed suit. In retrospect, this place has become a nice 'haven' to visit and I only have to tell people to pack salt once in a blue moon.

This decision is to benefit all of us. Nobody bitched and moaned when Win offered us discounted tickets on AZ day or the one dollar tickets on April Fools? Do you think he will continue such a generous policy for people that are selling non-transferable vouchers for profit? My guess is that the benefits of this decisions will eventually far outweigh any inconvenience.

Dealing with the different personalities and needs of members (Industry Reps Included) of a social site is a multifaceted task, to say the least. There is always PM's, Ebay and Craigslist is you're looking for a good deal. Lets be mindful of the big picture here folks...
